Actor Javier Bardem has intervened in the controversy surrounding Pink, Macklemore and the Israel-Gaza conflict, urging followers to sign a petition to remove singer Pink as a UNICEF ambassador. The "No Country for Old Men" shared multiple Instagram posts urging followers to sign a Change.org petition demanding that Pink be removed as a UNICEF ambassador, according to Reuters. The petition Bardem promoted, titled "Remove Pink as a UNICEF Ambassador," has received more than 172,000 signatures so far. It calls on the organization to remove the singer from her position.
The petition stems from backlash after Pink criticized Macklemore's "Free Palestine" message during Ed Sheeran's tour, leading to Macklemore being removed from the tour. Petition organizers argue that Pink's comments conflict with UNICEF's mission to promote peace and uphold child rights. The Change.org petition calls on UNICEF to take decisive action and officially strip Pink of her ambassador role.
